Hey there Peter - 

sorry to be late to the party, but it's been a busy month...

Mark's Rack has done fine and solid mounted with only the struts.  I run the
Country Bag on it, and have packed that bag pretty tightly at times.  Also,
the whole rig sees ripply/bumpy trails frequently, with nary a wobble.

RE: [RBW] Marks Rack Rear Mounted Question

2012-05-01 Thread Allingham II, Thomas J
When I got my QB, I asked Riv to mount a Mark's Rack on the rear for exactly 
the purpose you suggest -- a Lil' Loafer, for tools, tubes and stuff.  They 
used the struts only, no diving board, and it worked great, very solid.  My 
default setting is that if Riv does it that way, it's ok by me.  

No pics, sorry; I'm using a Carradice Bagman and a saddlebag now for additional 
capacity.

Subject: [RBW] Marks Rack Rear Mounted Question

Question on mounting new Marks Rack in the rear.  I see some pics have the 
diving board and the two sets of struts mounted while some just have the 
support struts and no diving board when mounting in the rear.
I am just putting on a small trunksack so it doesnt need to be super strong 
since I have the platrack setup on the front and all for lugging. I would mount 
the platrack in the rear but with the trail a bike I wouldnt be able to use it 
when I lug my kid around too. Thanks for any and all advice.
